Ok, I have spotted one oddity with this feature. The symbolic refs are getting converted to real refs in the mirror. Generally speaking this is the <remote>/HEAD refs but I guess it may be possible to have others. I have had a looked about and I am actually confused as to whether we maintain remote symbolic refs at all? Cirtainly git-clone.sh seems to do some hoop jumping, comparing the sha1's of all of the fetched branches and replacing the HEAD reference with a symbolic reference should it find a match. I am unsure if this a huge problem or not. Its not preventing me using it as an effective mirror, but if we assume one is making the mirror as a backup, then there would be slightly more than an rsync to convert the the repo back into your original, though I guess there already is as you would want to insert your config into the remote also. Perhaps someone with a better understanding could point me to where we we maintain these refs, if we indeed do? -apw - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
